Entering a Number in Scientific Notation

1. Enter the part of the number that precedes the exponent. This value can be an expression.
2. Press y D. â is pasted to the cursor location.
3. Enter the exponent, which can be one or two digits.

Notes:

If the exponent is negative, press k, and then enter the exponent.
â stands for "x10" and the calculator interprets the entire number as (123.45 x 10-2) as if it was entered with parentheses.

When you enter a number in scientific notation, the TI-84 Plus CE online calculator does not automatically display answers in scientific or engineering notation. The mode settings and the size of the number determine the display format.
